Hold Up… Are We Creating Our Own Problems?!
A belief is a feeling of certainty about what something means.
Beliefs define our experience of what the world is like and directly affect our actions. The tricky thing about them is they are always self imposed and usually unconscious. Yes, we can inherit beliefs from the outside world (family, religion, school, etc), but we ultimately hold the power to choose which beliefs we take on as our own.
So what if our beliefs are self sabotaging...? That’s right… YOU are choosing to create the negativity in your life, whether you are conscious of it or not. No judgement. We’re human, this is the gig we signed up for. The good news is we can flip this model on its head to serve us, and instead create a life filled with JOY!
👉 Think of areas in your life where you feel defeated.
If your explanation for WHY sounds something like “that’s just the way things are” you’re probably acting from a disempowered belief. Nothing is backing up your statement except for your opinion, or a perception of your experience. This is not reality. It's an illusion, created by you.
For me, disempowered beliefs have looked like:
💔Nobody likes me / I am a burden
💔I will never be as attractive as her so why bother
💔I would have more career success/money in my life if I was more ‘normal’ and didn’t express my disagreement
💔Just in general people would like me more if I kept my mouth shut
💔A healthy romantic relationship isn’t possible for me. I should just take what I can get.
Maybe some of these nasty thoughts and beliefs are familiar to you?
Feel the shift that happens when you instead take on these beliefs (and mean them, even if you’re just faking at first):
❤️I am enjoyable to have around
❤️I am beautiful
❤️I have a lot to offer to the world
❤️I am worthy of respect and admiration
❤️I am worthy of love (🌟hint: this is a big one)
👉 What energy can you call in that’s the opposite of what’s disempowering you? ✨If you feel comfortable, share your thoughts in the comments. Sending love 🙏🏻
